Referring to Aston Villa footballer Jack Grealish, the royal told fans (via The Mirror): “I’m going to insist the baby is called Jack,” before adding after a pause “… or Jackie”

Stephen Fry announces he is recovering from prostate cancer

Stephen Fry has revealed he is currently recovering from prostate cancer.

The national treasure posted a 13 minute long video this morning, alongside the caption: “For the last two months I’ve been in the throes of a rather unwelcome and unexpected adventure. I’m sorry I haven’t felt able to talk about it till now, but here I am explaining what has been going on.”

For the last 2 months I've been in the throes of a rather unwelcome and unexpected adventure. I'm sorry I haven't felt able to talk about it till now, but here I am explaining what has been going on: https://t.co/uPorpiwstg

In the video – titled ‘Stephen Fry Annoucement’ – Stephen explains how doctors discovered slightly high PSA levels after he went to get a flu jab.

Fry’s doctor recommended he get a MRI scan, which later showed up cancerous tissue in the prostate. After discussing the various options with medical professionals, the IQ host decided to have the prostate removed via surgery.

The operation took place in January and the cancer was thankfully removed. Stephen has since been at home recovering.

Explaining his absence from the public eye, Stephen said: “I have been keeping my head down as much as possible, as obviously you want to get better.”

He continued: “My family and my divine, darling husband of course were just marvellous.”

Fry concluded his video by highlighting how this early intervention in fact saved his life, and urged other men to get their PSA levels checked.

Tom’s representative confirmed the happy news, saying: “Tom and Dustin are thrilled to share that they are expecting their first child in 2018.”

It was not long ago Tom confessed to the Belfast Telegraph he would love to start a family. He said: “Lance and I definitely want a family in the future – who knows when? We’re both lucky to have supportive families and we want to share that with our own children.”

Piers, who’s not one to shy away from a good old Twitter spat, responded to the comment, saying: “The BBC led on revelations from my interview all Friday morning, and Andrew Marr said yesterday it had made real news. So it would appear you’re the one spouting tosh, you pompous old prune.”

It seems the Good Morning Britain host may have met his match, however, as Simpson hit back: “Pompous, probably. Old, undeniably. Prune, quite possibly. But I don’t enjoy watching spineless political interviews.”

Chris Tarrant found guilty of drink-driving

Chris Tarrant has been found guilty of drink-driving.

The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire host was fined £6,000 fine and disqualified from driving for 12 months at Reading Magistrates’ Court today (January 18), after admitting to being over the legal limit while driving his Mercedes on 16 December in Bucklebury, Berkshire.

Chris was reported to the police by a member of the public and was found with 50 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, the legal limit being 35 microgrammes.

The 71-year-old presenter’s agent Paul Vaughan said in a statement that Chris had “enjoyed a single drink and something to eat” before leaving the pub “in a sober state.”

He added: “Once he was at home, as he was not to drive himself again that day, he freely admits he drank a quantity of alcohol – some brandy and later some wine.

“Having been at home for some time, he was called upon by a police officer who approached him outside his house and required him, following information received by a member of the public, to take a breath test. This test proved positive and he was formally arrested and taken to the Newbury Police Station.

“Mr Tarrant was not stopped by police at the roadside, nor was he given a roadside breath test – nor is there any allegation by police that his driving fell below standard.

Ferne McCann’s ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins has been jailed for a further eight months after using a smuggled phone in prison.

The TOWIE star’s ex-boyfriend and father to their baby girl Sunday was sentenced to a further eight months in prison at Woolwich Crown Court today (Wednesday, January 17), after the Daily Star Online released a video of Arthur using a phone in his cell.

Judge Nicholas Heathcote Williams said: “The presence of a mobile phone or component part such as a Sim card has many implications, not only for the prison establishment, but also the wider environment.

“It provides a prisoner or prisoners with an opportunity to communicate they would otherwise not have. This therefore allows them to act in a way prison is supposed to prevent them from doing.”

Arthur Collins’ defence claimed he needed to contact Ferne, who was heavily pregnant with his unborn child at the time.

Collins’ lawyer, Audrey Mogan, told the court: “He did not have the phone for any sinister purpose.

“His partner at the time was heavily pregnant and gave birth the following November.”

Arthur was originally jailed for 20 years in December, after being found guilty of an acid attack at Mangle E8 nightclub in London.

Aziz Ansari responds to allegation of sexual misconduct

Aziz Ansari has responded to an accusation of sexual misconduct, claiming the incident was “completely consensual”.

A 23-year-old woman has come forward to claim she was left feeling “violated” after a date with the US actor and comedian.

Posting a detailed account of their evening together on the website babe, the photographer alleged that Ansari repeatedly tried to initiate sexual activity, despite her showing clear signs that she was uncomfortable.

Describing how she eventually left his house, the 23-year-old wrote: “I cried the whole ride home. At that point I felt violated. That last hour was so out of my hand. I believe that I was taken advantage of by Aziz. I was not listened to and ignored. It was by far the worst experience with a man I’ve ever had.”

This is the text Grace* sent Aziz Ansari after their date which left her feeling “violated”. She tells Ansari how uncomfortable he made her feel, saying “you ignored clear non-verbal cues” and “kept going with advances.”

The Master of None star has now responded to the accusation in a statement, denying claims of sexual misconduct.

“In September of last year, I met a woman at a party. We exchanged numbers,” the statement read. “We texted back and forth and eventually went on a date. We went out to dinner, and afterwards we ended up engaging in sexual activity, which by all indications was completely consensual.

“The next day, I got a text from her saying that although “it may have seemed okay,” upon further reflection, she felt uncomfortable. It was true that everything did seem okay to me, so when I heard that it was not the case for her, I was surprised and concerned.

“I took her words to heart and responded privately after taking the time to process what she had said.

“I continue to support the movement that is happening in our culture. It is necessary and long overdue.”
